HAVANA, Cuba.- Venezuela’s Attorney General Luisa Ortega reiterated in Havana her willingness to collaborate in favor of the cause of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters serving unfair sentences in the U.S.

In a meeting with relatives of the Cuban Five, Ortega said that she personally, as a woman, as a Venezuelan and as representative of power supported the cause of Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez.

After reiterating her willingness to collaborate in anything in her power with their cause, Ortega said the process against the Cuban Five was arbitrary and a violation of all the fundamental rights of humanitarian international law, Granma newspaper reported.

Four of five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters remain imprisoned in U.S federal jails, and in the case of Rene Gonzalez, though released in September 2011, was not allowed to return to Cuba because of an additional punishment imposed on him for which he has to stay in that country for other three years on probation.

On behalf of the Cuban Five’s relatives present in the meeting, Adriana Perez, Gerardo Hernandez’ wife thanked the Venezuelan official’s gesture and noted that international support and pressure exerted so that justice be made we’ll make it possible for the Cuban Five to return to their home country.
